Broadband speeds in GU31
Share of GU31 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 429 postcodes in the district.
Superfast penetration at 89% means 47 postcodes lack 30 Mbps baseline across Chichester. Gigabit and high-speed both register 54.9%, indicating cable networks serve just over half the district with high speeds. Approximately 236 postcodes achieve 300+ Mbps gigabit capacity through available cable plant. The middle tier claims 34.1%, over one third or 146 premises with speeds between 30 and 300 Mbps, a substantial fraction capped at intermediate speeds. Concerningly, 2.7% fall below 10 Mbps, affecting roughly 12 postcodes using legacy systems, and 0.7% miss the USO floor. GU31 reflects broader Chichester connectivity patterns with moderate superfast baseline paired with limited gigabit penetration. The 2.7% sub-10 Mbps presence exceeds better-served zones, suggesting targeted infrastructure investment is warranted.
